BOSSASO (SD) -The Military Court of the Puntland Security Forces, headquartered in the city of Bossaso, has sentenced four individuals to ten years in prison each on charges of affiliation with Al-Shabab.

Four of the convicted individuals, who are men, were accused of providing support to Al-Shabab.

The Military Court also sentenced two women to five years in prison each on charges of collaborating with the group.
These convictions come amid increased security operations against Al-Shabaab in the city of Bossaso, where the security forces have been accused of failing to effectively address the security challenges in the city.
